PREFACE 

A  great  deal  of  interest  has  been  awakened  in  the  last  few  years 
in  the  commercial  growing  of  Scuppernong  Grapes.  The  prices  for 
these  grapes  have  averaged  unusually  high  and  the  demand  for  them 
is  greatly  in  excess  of  the  supply.  More  thought  and  study  are  being 
given  to  the  growing  of  Scuppernongs  than  ever  before,  and  a  demand 
for  more  knowledge  regarding  them  has  led  to  the  publishing  of  this 
booklet. 

In  compiling  this,  the  writer  has  endeavored  to  eliminate  the 
theoretical  and  technical  as  much  as  possible  and  to  present  the  sub- 
ject only  from  a  practical  and  workable  standpoint. 


THE  SCUPPERNONG  GRAPE 


HISTORY 

There  is  some  question  as  to  the  place  of  origin  of  the  Scupper- 
nong  Grape,  some  authorities  claiming  that  the  first  vine  was  found 
on  Roanoke  Island,  in  eastern  North  Carolina,  and  others,  that 
the  first  vine  came  from  Tyrrell  County,  North  Carolina.  There 
are  very  old  vineyards  in  both  places,  known  to  be  considerably  over 
a  hundred  years  old,  and  it  will  probably  be  hard  to  prove  whether 
the  Roanoke  Island  vines  came  from  Tyrrell  County  or  whether  the 
Tyrrell  County  vines  were  brought  from  Roanoke  Island.  These 
vineyards  were  both  established  by  the  earliest  settlers,  and,  from  a 
practical  standpoint,  it  does  not  matter  a  great  deal  which  is  the 
older. 

All  authorities  agree  that  the  Scuppernong  is  of  the  pure  Rotundi- 
folia  Species.  This  species  grows  wild  in  the  woods  all  through  the 
coastal  plain  country  from  Southern  Virginia  to  Florida,  and  ex- 
tends as  far  West  as  the  edge  of  the  Piedmont  section  in  North  Caro- 
lina. Wherever  the  wild  Rotundifolias  grow,  the  Scuppernong  has 
been  introduced  and  thrives.  Today  there  are  very  few  homes  in 
the  east  coast  country  that  do  not  have  one  or  more  Scuppernong 
vines. 

FRUIT  AND  VINE 

The  Scuppernong  is  different  from  the  other  grapes  of  the  Ro- 
tundifolia  family  in  that  it  is  white,  or  rather,  bronze  in  color,  while 
the  other  varieties  are  black.  The  grapes  are  large  in  size,  and  grow 
two  to  ten  in  a  bunch. 

The  vine  is  an  exceptionally  strong  grower,  and  its  wood  is  the 
hardest  of  the  grape  family. 

There  are  no  insect  enemies,  or  fungus  diseases  that  attack  the 
fruit. 


6 

The  black  rot  sometimes  attacks  the  leaves  in  the  spring,  but  never 
enough  to  affect  the  growth  of  the  vines,  or  to  cause  any  apparent 
detriment  to  a  vine  that  is  given  proper  care. 

The  blooms  open  during  the  first  part  of  June,  and  the  grapes 
ripen  during  September. 

SOILS 

It  is  the  tendency  of  the  Scuppernong  on  heavy,  or  very  fertile 
soils,  to  run  to  vine  at  the  expense  of  the  fruit.  It  thrives  on  the 
bare  beach  sand  along  the  coast,  and  it  is  our  experience  that  best 
results,  under  vineyard  conditions,  can  be  secured  on  sandy  soils 
with  sand  or  sand-clay  subsoils.  Here  the  drainage  is  good  and 
there  is  no  danger  of  the  soil  baking  in  dry  weather.  The  growth 
of  vine  can  be  regulated  by  the  proper  use  of  fertilizers,  as  the  roots 
are  very  near  the  surface  and  respond  quickly  to  fertilization. 

There  are  thousands  of  acres  of  this  character  of  land  in  Eastern 
North  Carolina,  very  little  of  which  is  under  cultivation,  as  it  is 
usually  considered  of  little  value  for  most  crops.  However,  these 
lands  in  grapes  will  produce  several  times  the  net  profit  per  acre 
that  the  best  lands  can  possibly  produce  in  cotton,  corn,  wheat,  or 
other  staple  crops. 

ARBORS  VERSUS  TRELLISES 

Within  the  last  five  to  ten  years  some  experiments  have  been  made 
in  growing  Scuppernongs  and  other  varieties  of  the  Rotundifolia 
Species  on  upright  trellises,  pruning  and  training  as  other  grapes 
are  pruned  and  trained.  Aside  from  this,  these  grapes  have  always 
been  grown  on  overhead  arbors,  without  special  pruning  or  training. 
There  are  a  few  who  advocate  the  trial  of  the  trellis  system,  but, 
from  what  we  have  seen  of  its  use,  we  are  confident  that  the  trellis 
will  never  compete  with  the  overhead  arbor  for  a  commercial  Scup- 
pernong vineyard,  and  we  do  not  recommend  its  use  by  any  one  except 
in  an  experimental  way.  Our  reasons  for  making  this  statement  are : 

1.  The  vine  does  not  take  kindly  to  the  severe  pruning  that  is 
necessary  to  keep  it  within  bounds  on  a  trellis;  its  tendency  is  to 
run  to  vine  at  the  expense  of  the  fruit. 


2.  Because  of  the   severe  pruning  necessary  on  the  trellis,   the 
grapes  do  not  ripen  evenly. 

3.  On  an  overhead  arbor,  the  Scuppernong  will  keep  itself  pruned 
to  young,  bearing  wood  more  effectually  than  can  possibly  be  done 
by  hand  pruning,  thus  eliminating  a  great  deal  of  labor  and  expense, 
and  at  the  same  time  adding  to  the  size  of  the  crop.     Unlike  most 
fruits,  the  Scuppernong  can  mature  a  full  crop  every  year  without 
detriment  to  the  vine. 

4.  There  is  no  need  of  keeping  the  vine  in  bounds  for  the  purpose 
of  spraying.     There  are  no  insects  or  diseases  that  attack  the  fruit 
and  the  black  rot  cannot  materially  hurt  the  leaves  in  a  well-kept 
vineyard. 

5.  Where  the  trellis  system  has  been  tried  in  commercial  vine- 
yards, in  comparison  with  vines  grown  on  arbors,  the  trellis  system 
has  soon  been  given  up. 

6.  Very  little  experience  is  required  to  make  a  success  of  a  vine- 
yard on  overhead  arbors,  while,  with  the  trellis  system,  a  great  deal 
of  labor  and  a  large  amount  of  technical  knowledge  are  necessary. 

7.  A  paying  crop  can  be  secured  quicker  on  the  arbors  than  on 
the  trellis. 

8.  We  know  that  large  yields  can  be  obtained  at  a  minimum  of 
expense  from  an  arbored  vineyard,  and  there  are  many  vines  over  a 
hundred  years  old,  still  bearing  heavy  crops  annually,  giving  abun- 
dant proof  that  the  arbor  system  is  thoroughly  practical.     The  trellis 
is  still  an  experiment. 

The  original  expense  of  a  vineyard  on  arbors  is  slightly  greater 
than  with  trellises,  but  this  is  a  great  deal  more  than  offset  by  the 
saving  in  annual  expense  and  upkeep. 

FILLERS 

The  value  of  fillers  is  recognized  in  many  branches  of  fruit  grow- 
ing. In  establishing  an  orchard  of  apples  or  pecans,  peaches  are 
very  often  used  between  the  other  trees  to  make  a  quicker  return 


from  the  use  of  the  land.  Scuppernong  vines,  when  ten  to  twelve 
years  old,  will  cover  a  large  area  of  land,  so  that  permanent  vines 
in  a  vineyard  should  be  planted  at  least  twenty  to  thirty  feet  apart 
each  way.  On  light  sand  lands,  twenty  feet  is  found  to  be  about 
right,  and  when  planting  them  this  distance,  we  set  additional  vines 
as  fillers,  which  are  taken  out  when  the  tops  get  too  crowded.  These 
fillers  will  stand  from  six  to  eight  years,  and  should  more  than  pay 
all  costs  of  the  vineyard  before  they  have  to  be  removed.  A  Scupper- 
nong comes  into  bearing  at  three  years  after  setting,  and  the  fillers 
will  yield  three  to  six  crops  before  being  taken  out.  In  setting  a 
vineyard,  we  put  the  vines  ten  feet  apart  each  way,  allowing  four 
hundred  and  thirty-two  to  the  acre,  one  hundred  and  eight  of  which 
are  permanent  vines.  In  this  way  we  get  four  times  as  great  a 
yield  the  first  few  years  of  bearing.  The.  cost  of  the  additional  vines 
used  as  fillers  is  not  great,  and  the  cost  of  arboring  and  care  is  prac- 
tically the  same  for  the  four  hundred  and  thirty-two  vines  as  it  would 
be  for  one  hundred  and  eight. 

This  method  of  planting  puts  the  Scuppernong  vineyard  on  an 
equal  basis  with  peaches  for  quick  returns,  and  makes  it  considerably 
more  attractive  to  the  average  man  than  it  would  be  if  it  were  neces- 
sary to  wait  till  the  permanent  vines  covered  the  arbors  before  get- 
ting maximum  returns. 

The  following  diagram  shows  the  method  of  planting  when  fillers 
are  used.

vines  at  "o"  can  be  left  growing  two  or  three  years  longer  than  the 
vines  at  "x."  ' 

ARBORING 

For  the  first  year  after  the  vines  are  planted,  a  strong  stake  stuck 
in  the  ground  alongside  the  vine  is  sufficient  support.  The  vine 
should  be  watched  all  summer,  and  carefully  tied  to  the  stake  as 
fast  as  it  grows,  and  all  buds  and  shoots  along  this  cane,  for  the  first 
six  feet,  should  be  rubbed  off  as  soon  as  they  show.  This  cane  is  to 
form  the  trunk  of  the  vine,  and  if  it  is  carefully  held  to  its  support 
for  the  first  two  or  three  years,  it  will  always  stand  straight,  and 
will  facilitate  later  cultivation  among  the  vines. 

The  second  season,  an  eight-foot  post  should  be  set  in  the  ground 
two  feet  deep,  at  each  of  the  posts  marked  "P"  and  "o."  The  better 
the  quality  of  these  posts,  the  longer  they  will  last.  Fat  lightwood 
is  the  best  that  can  be  secured,  and  ought  to  stand  a  generation  with- 
out renewal.  At  the  ends  of  the  rows  in  each  direction,  it  will  be 
necessary  to  set  an  extra  heavy  post,  to  be  braced  securely. 

As  soon  as  the  posts  are  set,  and  the  end  posts  braced,  a  number 
nine  galvanized  wire  is  stretched  tight  lengthwise  across  the  tops  of 
each  of  the  rows  of  posts,  securing  it  to  the  top  of  each  post  with  a 
large  staple.  The  following  season,  number  fourteen  wires  are  run 
at  right  angles  to  the  number  nine  wire  across  the  field,  resting  on 
and  fastened  to,  each  of  the  number  nine  wires.  There  should  be 
two  of  these  wires  for  each  row  of  posts,  one  on  either  side  of  the 
post  and  about  a  foot  from  it.  As  the  vines  grow  and  spread,  more 
number  fourteen  wires  will  be  needed  each  season,  running  parallel 
across  the  field  and  about  two  feet  apart,  until  the  whole  space  is 
covered.  This  forms  a  strong,  light  arbor  that  will  last  a  great  many 
years. 

As  a  precaution  against  lightning,  a  wire  should  be  run  into  the 
ground  from  each  of  the  cross  wires  deep  enough  to  strike  perma- 
nent moisture.

will  look  when  completed: 


In  the  above  diagram,  the  large  dots  represent  the  tops  of  the  posts 
which  are  set  at  every  other  vine,  or  twenty  feet  apart  in  the  rows. 
The  heavier  cross  lines  represent  number  nine  wires,  running  across 
the  field  and  fastened  to  the  top  of  each  post.  The  lighter,  up  and 
down,  lines  represent  number  fourteen  wires,  which  are  stretched 
over  the  tops  of  and  fastened  to  each  of  the  cross  wires. 


CULTIVATION 

The  root  system  of  the  Scuppernong  is  very  shallow,  the  roots 
usually  running  from  three  to  eight  or  ten  inches  under  the  surface. 
For  this  reason  it  is  not  wise  to  plow  between  the  rows  or  under  the 
vines  after  the  second  or  third  year.  However,  the  ground  under 
the  vines  should  be  kept  clean  and  cultivated  with  disc  or  Acme 
harrow.  After  the  vines  completely  cover  and  shade  the-  ground, 
there  is  not  a  great  deal  of  danger  of  the  land  becoming  foul  with 
weeds  or  grass,  but  the  moisture  content  of  the  soil  is  of  great  im- 
portance, and  to  keep  the  land  well  mulched  by  cultivation  will  very 
materially  increase  the  crop.  It  is  of  extreme  importance  that  a 


11 

vineyard  have  clean  cultivation  the  first  few  years,  and  during  the 
first  season  the  space  for  three  feet  around  each  vine  should  be  kept 
free  from  all  grass  or  weeds. 

COMPANION  CROPS 

For  the  first  two  or  three  years  after  the  vines  are  planted,  or 
until  they  begin  to  bear  fruit,  it  is  possible  and  practical  to  plant 
hoed  crops  between  the  rows  of  vines  and  retain  the  use  of  the  land. 
The  crops  best  suited  for  this  purpose  are  the  legumes,  soy  beans  or 
peanuts,  during  the  summer,  and  vetch  and  crimson  clover  may  be 
sown  for  winter  cover.  These  crops  should  be  fertilized  with  suffi- 
cient potash  and  phosphate  to  insure  a  good  growth,  and  can  be  cut 
for  hay.  Corn  or  small  grains  should  not  be  planted  between  the 
rows,  and  cotton  and  tobacco  should  not  be  used  after  the  second 
year,  but  melons  or  truck  crops  of  any  kind  are  all  right.  Where 
a  stand  of  winter  vetch  can  be  secured,  we  believe  this  will  add  ma- 
terially to  the  value  of  the  vineyard,  and  increase  the  profits  for 
many  years.  If  a  good  stand  can  be  secured,  and  it  is  allowed  to 
mature  in  the  spring  and  lie  on  the  ground  during  the  summer,  it 
should  form  a  mulch  for  the  vines,  and  will  reseed  itself  when  disced 
in  in  the  fall. 

A  Scuppernong  vineyard  is  an  excellent  place  to  raise  poultry. 
The  vines  form  a  protection  both  in  summer  and  winter  against 
sun  and  wind,  and,  as  the  vines  require  very  little  care,  a  large 
poultry  business  can  be  profitably  carried  on,  even  in  a  small  vine- 
yard. Sheep  are  also  a  very  profitable  "side  line"  where  companion 
and  cover  crops  are  grown. 

FERTILIZERS 

So  far  as  we  know,  there  have  never  been  any  experiments  made 
to  test  the  fertilizer  requirements  of  the  Scuppernong.  We  have 
learned,  however,  that  even  though  the  vines  will  make  growth  on 
the  poorest  of  soils,  they  will  also  yield  very  large  returns  on  what 
would  be  considered  a  lavish  application  of  fertilizer. 

The  fact  that  the  roots  are  all  near  the  surface  of  the  ground  makes 
them  respond  quickly  to  fertilization,  and  it  is  possible,  on  the  light 


12 

lands,  to  control,  in  a  great  measure,  the  growth  of  the  vine  as  well 
as  the  fruit,  by  fertilization.  It  has  been  the  opinion  of  many  that 
the  Scuppernong  needs  no  fertilization.  In  a  sense  this  is  true,  for 
the  vine  will  yield  a  profitable  crop  without  the  application  of  com- 
mercial fertilizers,  but  we  are  considering  the  question  from  the 
standpoint  of  how  much  fertilizer  can  be  profitably  applied,  rather 
than  on  how  little  will  the  vine  get  along.  The  size  of  the  crop 
from  a  Scuppernong  vine  is  dependent  on  the  size  of  the  vine  rather 
than  its  age.  This  being  the  case,  it  is  very  profitable  to  feed  the  vines 
all  they  will  consume  of  fertilizers  tending  to  make  growth,  in  the 
earlier  stages  of  the  vineyard.  This  means  an  abundance  of  nitrogen 
and  potash,  with  sufficient  phosphate  to  ripen  the  wood.  The  char- 
acter of  soil  will  greatly  influence  the  quantities  to  be  applied,  but 
a  safe  rule  is  to  apply,  and  work  well  into  the  soil  in  the  spring,  four 
hundred  pounds  of  acid  phosphate  and  seventy-five  to  a  hundred 
pounds  of  muriate  of  potash  per  acre,  adding  light  applications  of 
nitrate  of  soda  if  the  vines  show  need  of  it.  As  the  vines  grow  older, 
the  amount  of  phosphate  and  potash  should  be  gradually  increased 
to  take  care  of  the  increased  demands  of  the  vines. 

SELF-STERILITY  OF  BLOOM 

From  many  experiments  made  by  the  Government  and  State  De- 
partments of  Agriculture,  it  has  been  definitely  proven  that  the 
bloom  of  the  Scuppernong  is  self-sterile,  and  needs  the  pollen  from 
a  male  vine  in  order  to  set  fruit.  In  the  sections  where  these  grapes 
thrive  there  are  always  many  wild  vines  in  the  woods,  and  in  most 
seasons  these  are  sufficient  to  insure  a  fair  crop  of  grapes,  but,  to 
insure  a  yield  every  year,  it  is  wise  to  have  male  vines  planted  in 
with  the  Scuppernongs,  at  least  one  or  two  to  the  acre,  and  a  few 
hives  of  bees  will  prove  a  profitable  "side  line,"  both  by  insuring 
more  nearly  perfect  fertilization  of  the  bloom,  and  for  the  honey 
they  will  make. 

GATHERING 

The  bunches  of  the  Scuppernong,  as  a  rule,  are  small,  averaging 
three  to  ten  berries  to  the  bunch.  These  shatter  easily  from  the 
bunch  when  ripe,  and  the  best  and  cheapest  method  of  gathering  the 
crop  is  to  spread  a  canvas  or  sheet  under  the  vine  and  shake  the 


13 

grapes  into  it.  These  are  then  dumped  into  a  barrel,  and  are  ready 
for  shipment.  The  cost  of  gathering  by  this  method  is  from  seven 
to  ten  cents  per  bushel. 

YIELDS 

The  yields  to  be  expected  from  a  Scuppernorig  vineyard  are,  as 
with  other  fruits,  dependent  in  a  great  measure  on  the  care  given  the 
vines.  After  the  vineyard  is  once  established  and  the  arbors  con- 
structed, the  vines  will  probably  yield  a  paying  crop  every  year  for 
ten  or  fifteen  years  even  though  absolutely  neglected.  With  proper 
care,  however,  keeping  the  dead  wood  pulled  out  and  sufficient  fer- 
tility added  each  year  to  make  up  for  that  used  by  the  season's  growth, 
they  will  yield  very  large  returns.  For  fear  those  who  are  not 
familiar  with  the  grape  and  its  yield  may  doubt  our  veracity,  we 
are  not  giving  estimated  yields  per  acre,  but  are  quoting  from  dis- 
interested authorities. 

In  Gardening  in  the  South,  Wm.  N".  White,  speaking  of  the  Scup- 
pernong,  says:  "It  rarely,  if  ever,  fails  to  produce  a  heavy  crop. 
We  have  never  known  it  to  fail.  *  *  *  It  will  produce  a 
greater  weight  of  fruit  than  any  other  variety  in  the  world.  Vines, 
six  years  transplanted,  have  this  year  given  us  an  average  of  three 
bushels  to  the  vine,  and  we  shall  be  disappointed  if  they  do  not 
double  every  year  for  many  years  in  the  future.  We  are  credibly 
informed  that  a  vine  of  this  variety  is  growing  near  Mobile  which 
has  produced  two  hundred  and  fifty  bushels  of  grapes  in  a  year,  and 
we  know  that  vines  ten  years  old  have  given,  and  will  give,  thirty 
bushels  per  vine." 

The  following  is  an  extract  from  a  letter  by  Geo.  C.  Husmann, 
Pomologist,  in  charge  of  Grape  Investigations  for  the  United  States 
Department  of  Agriculture. 

"Xo  authentic  figures  regarding  its  yield  are  available,  although 
large  returns  are  often  obtained.  It  is  claimed  that  young  vines, 
properly  grown  and  cared  for,  can  be  expected  to  yield  three  bushels 
to  the  vine,  when  five  years  old,  after  which  the  yield  should  gradu- 
ally increase  as  the  vines  grow  older  and  stronger,  provided  proper 
care  is  taken  of  them."

MARKET 

The  Scuppernong  grape  is  essentially  a  wine  grape.  It  is  of  very 
fine  quality  when  eaten  fresh  from  the  vine  but  does  not  keep  well 
and  cannot  be  shipped  to  distant  markets.  It  makes  a  very  light 
wine  of  superior  quality  which  has  rapidly  attained  great  favor. 

To  meet  the  increasing  demand  for  this  wine  the  manufacturers 
are  willing  to  contract  for  the  grapes  twenty-five  years  in  advance 
at  prices  that  will  yield  an  immense  profit  to  the  grower,  thus  afford- 
ing an  absolutely  sure  market. 

PLANTING 

A  Scuppernong  vine  is  rather  difficult  to  transplant,  unless  handled 
properly  from  the  time  it  is  dug  until 'it  is  planted.  If  the  small 
roots  or  feeders  dry  out  they  are  of  no  further  value  to  the  plant. 
For  this  reason  it  is  of  great  importance  that  the  vines  are  handled 
carefully  and  properly  from  the  time  they  are  dug  until  they  are 
in  the  ground  again. 

The  best  time  to  plant  Scuppernongs  is  in  the  fall  of  the  year, 
but  they  can  be  safely  planted  any  time  from  the  middle  of  November 
to  the  first  of  March. 

Considerable  trouble  has  been  experienced  many  times  in  getting 
a  good  stand  of  vines.  The  trouble  has  been  due  to  several  causes 
such  as  dried  roots,  planting  too  deep  or  too  shallow  or  the  vines  may 
be  weak  to  start  with  unless  properly  grown.  It  is  possible,  how- 
ever, to  get  as  good  a  stand  of  Scuppernongs  as  any  other  fruit.  The 
system  we  use  has  proven  very  successful  and  the  details  will  readily 
be  furnished  upon  request  to  The  Southern  Pines  Grape  Nurseries.

SUMMARY 

We  do  not  believe  there  is  another  fruit  combining  the  advantages 
that,  are  offered  the  growers  of  Scuppernong  Grapes.  We  know  of 
no  other  fruit  that  combines  the  safety  of  market  with  low  cost  of 
production  and  large  crops,  that  are  the  features  of  the  Scuppernong. 

The  following  facts  can  be  proven  at  almost  every  homestead  in 
Eastern  North  Carolina : 

1.  There  are  no  insect  enemies  of  the  fruit  or  vine  and  no  disease 
affecting  them. 

2.  The  vines  require  no  careful  and  expensive  pruning. 

3.  There  is  no  danger  of  a  late  frost  killing  the  buds. 

4.  There  is  no  age  limit  to  the  vines. 

5.  Grapes  are  grown  best  on  the  cheapest  land. 

6.  There  is  no  need  of  expensive  packages  or  equipment. 

7.  The  vines  are  heavy  and  sure  bearers. 

8.  The  product  has  a  high  value  and  brings  highest  prices. 

9.  A  sure  market  for  a  long  term  of  years  takes  the  industry 
entirely  out  of  the  gamble  class. 

There  are  many  of  the  commercial  fruits  that  do  not  enjoy  a 
single  one  of  the  above  advantages,  and  very  few  fruits  can  claim 
more  than  two,  and  we  believe  it  is  a  knowledge  of  this  that  has 
awakened  people  all  over  the  country  to  the  possibilities  of  Scupper- 
nong growing.  E.  C.  COOL,  Manager,
